It
shows such a path of peaceful existence to mankind that if it
is followed in real spirit there will prevail universal peace
which is being sought by the human race perhaps since the creation
of the world till today. First thing is this that the Holy Quran
lays down the boundary line between evil and virtue and teachers
us to differentiate between them. Then again is directs to shun
evil as it will be harmful to you in the long run and adopt virtues
so that you can be the cause of peace and pleasure in this world
as well as hereafter. Again it assigns the limitation of all the
rights and duties which is binding on individuals on social life
and it also teaches how to act upon them. The Holy Quran contains
all the learning of the world. It teaches you rules of health
and hygiene, livelihood, association, agriculture, business, trade,
industry, economics, sociology, morality, science and philosophy.
Search anything and you will find in it.
The Holy Quran abhors idleness, indolence and inactivity, and
encourages activity and struggle to earn one’s living. It
goads you to spread out in the world and search treasures and
sustenance. It cries out to tears apart the bosom of the sea by
your ships and boats and trade with foreign countries. It tells
you to reach the bottom of the sea in order to search pearls and
coral so that your treasure is full and you are fee from care.
The Holy Qruan not only induces you to become rich and prosperous
but also orders for world conquest and governing the world and
teaches you the principles and ways to do it. The Holy Quran has
rules and manners of eating and drinking, meeting and conversing
and also rules orders and laws of marriage, divorce, inheritance,
alms, court of justice, civil court, and criminal court and also
of war etc. from the literary point of view it is also a unique
book. Its beauty of expression and eloquence is unparallel and
without any compression in the world. In the universities of the
Arab countries especially in Jam-e-Azhar of Cairo, the Holy Quran
is the basis of Arabic learning and literature and curriculum.
The Holy Quran has also historical stories, tales and event which
lead to useful historical information and examples and warning
to mankind. Besides these learning and knowledge the Quran is
more for human mind and soul than for his physical needs. This
Book does not only deal with beauty and illumination in nature
but also there is enough material for celestial love. It also
says what man was before he was created; where he was? How many
stages he has passed through before taking his material shape
and body? Why has he bee sent here? Where he has to go after death?
Which way he has to go and the places and layers he will have
to go through? What are soul, intellect, spirit, annihilation
and existence, hell and heaven, angels and seat and throne of
Allah? And above all, who is the creator, of all these things?
How He is and where He is? And how can we have His knowledge and
see Him? What can the Holy Quran not provide you with if you have
a searching mind ad throbbing heart? Those who ponder over it
mysteries and act upon them are rewarded beyond measure. Those
who simply go in search of outward expression and spend their
life in reading it also get satisfaction and peace of mind.
In short, the Holy Quran contains everything, it does not contain
on thing. You will be surprised to know what it may be. Then listen,
in the same Quran where there is everything it is not mentioned
what should they do when a Muslim state is run over by a non-Muslim
nation and is occupied by it .in reality the Holy Quran does not
teach you the principle of living as a servile nation and slaves.
But this is not the defect of Holy Quran. This is the proof of
perfection of its teaching. In reality the Quran teaches the way
to honor, power, independence and rule. Those nations which will
follow its teaching will enjoy respect, rule, independence, and
will govern the people. They will never be face to face with slavery
and servility. But, of course, those who will neglect its teachings
and oppose it will reduce to slavery and sub-ordination. And under
such circumstances neither the Quranic teaching nor upon whom
it has been revealed will be responsible for the slaver and subjugating.
In fine, the Muslims of the early days ruled over the world by
acting upon the teaching of the Holy Quran. As long as even fifty
percent of Muslims acted upon it they continued to rule over the
world. But since the time the majority of Muslims have started
believing in non-Quranic beliefs, they are face to face with dishonor
and disgrace. In spit of this it is the blessing of Allah that
Muslims has their own rule in many states. These states, may be
weak and dependent upon other, internally they are strong enough
to begin to follow the principles of the Holy Quran and regain
their lost position and glory. Now I shall describe the cause
of the downfall of the Muslims.
